Double 'D' Charters  BVI

Navigate the British Virgin Islands

Peter Island

Deadman's Bay boasts a great place to feast on a generous and delicious buffet lunch or dinner. Relax after your meal by lounging on the beach while watching the yachts sail through The Channel. Start or end your visit with a leisurely swim or snorkel. Keep an eye out for the Green Sea Turtle foraging the Turtle Grass. Barbecues are often held on the island with dancing on the beach. A steel drum band plays every Sunday during a West Indian brunch. Other Peter Island sites include Black Tip Reef, the Rhone Anchor (only), the dive wreck Fearless and Truck Reef, along with a collection of underwater cars and trucks.

Norman Island

Often called Treasure Island due to its association with Robert Lewis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island', Norman Island was reputed to be a favorite hangout for pirates, while legends of buried treasure still persist. Marooning was a common pirate punishment. After a mutiny, the notorious Blackbeard is said to have marooned 15 men on Dead Man's Chest with only a bottle of rum. Hence the song. Be sure to visit the 'Willie T' floating bar and restaurant... accessible only by dinghy. 

Salt Island

Off Salt Island is Rhone Reef, Blonde Rock and the colourful, current-bathed Vanishing Rocks. The island's salt ponds were once an important source of salt for the British Royal Navy. Norwell, the island's only inhabitant oversees the salt mining operation. Ask him to show you his beautiful collection of Fire Coral, and if he takes a liking to you, he just may bestow a gift of this coral as a memento.
